Heavy rain poured down, the perimeter of the Imperial Hotel was already packed with police cars and police officers, as well as reporters who braved the rain to come to the scene to shoot and interview, creating total chaos.
Inside Tokyo City, sirens wailed though streets and alleys as police cars with their red and blue lights emitted faint glimmers that alternately flickered in the downpour.
The Ministry of Justice, which manages labor relations and is one of the central departments of the state, had truly been shaken to its core when Kitanohara, the second-in-command of this department, and his entire family were gunned down in broad daylight. Fujimoto Ryosuke had indeed punctured the sky.
This was an incident that could make international headlines.
In any country, there are few assassinations of politicians as frenzied and vile as this.
